Editing Game : Rebirth (section)

== Rules ==

The game uses the PDQ rules. The basic rules aren't long, but a bit too long to post here. I'll teach the players what they need to know but if you'd like a reminder then the core rules can be found here:[http://atomicsockmonkey.com/freebies/di/pdq-core.pdf PDQ]

However, the game does use a few different rules from the PDQ standard. Here's the main differences:

*You roll 3d6+MOD instead of 2d6+MOD.
*Two new Ranks exist above Master: Elite [+8] and Epic [+10].
*The Target Numbers have shifted to accomodate the new rolling system. They are Poor [9], Average [11], Good [13], Expert [15], Master [17], Elite [19], Epic [21]
*Splitting your attacks to affect multiple targets (or to attack the same target twice) is possible, but at a -4 penalty rather than -2. 
*Armor-like defenses cannot be downshifted to ignore all damage, instead they may be downshifted to ignore MOD x2 in damage ranks. 
*Unarmed human attacks (or similarly "weak" attacks like whips) inflict only Failure Ranks.
